This is "Carefree Beauty." It's one of the first roses I chose to put in my gardens many years ago, and I still adore it. It's lightly scented - heavier on some days than others. It does a nice flush of blooms in June, then sporadically until mid to late August. Then it starts putting on a show and blooms heavily until our first hard freeze. Some years I still have blooms and buds in November.

what the name from roses?
Have a nice weekend Regina
It certainly lives up to the 'beauty' part of it's name....is it also 'carefree'?
Wow -- that's so pretty!
Now I'm all curious -- what do you blog about during the winter?
Barbara - thanks for reminding me to put words on my post!!!
Regina - thanks for visiting. Your blog is beautiful.
This rose is a shrub rose - "Carefree Beauty" - it's a Griffith Buck rose developed in 1977. That's all the information I could find on it.
Connie - it is very carefree - very disease tolerant. It is one of my favorites.
Tristi - I started blogging in Feb last winter - and I'm thinking my posts were pretty boring until things started blooming in the gardens! We'll see how this winter turns out!!
Thanks everyone for the very nice comments! :)
I always tell myself I will not do roses in my garden - the description of this one with the fall blooms tempts me. I might have to take the long drive down and get a cutting. ;)
I'd be happy to share cuttings with you Melissa!!
This past weekend was a perfect time for carefree beauty. One can almost entertain the idea that perhaps winter will bypass us this year.
I don't think your blog will be boring -- I'm envisioning lots of beautiful snowy pictures. :)
